Lab 3 Hint: Agent Movement towards the Goal

TRAC Wiki SVN Access

To access the SVN repository of the TRAC Wiki, add /svn either before or after the name of your wiki in the URL. So for team 11, this would be
https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/svn/CSC-480-F11-11/ or
https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/CSC-480-F11-11/svn/

See more information at
https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/labs/wiki/WikiGettingStarted, the “Repository Browser” entry of the “Help/Guide” tab on your Wiki(https://wiki.csc.calpoly.edu/CSC-480-F11-11/wiki/TracBrowser), or http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion for the technical details.

480 Initial Survey Available

The initial survey for the class will be available from 9:30 - 11:00 for the morning section, and from 4:40 - 6:00 pm for the afternoon section. There is a time limit of one hour for the completion of the survey, but most likely it will take you 10-15 minutes.

Lab 2: Auto-Step Solution for BotEnvironment

Here’s a solution for the missing Auto-Step behavior in the environment for Lab2; thanks, Alan!


Author: Alan Phu Truong.

Solution:

Instead of using the following to start your environment:
java -classpath .:WumpusEnvironment.jar BotEnvironment.WumpusEnvironment

Use:
java -Xint -classpath .:WumpusEnvironment.jar BotEnvironment.WumpusEnvironment

AutoStep seems to work under more circumstances with this flag.

-Xint: Operate in interpreted-only mode. Compilation to native code is disabled, and all bytecodes are executed by the interpreter. The performance benefits offered by the Java HotSpot VMs' adaptive compiler will not be present in this mode.See http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/tooldocs/linux/java.html



I’ve also added a pointer to additional material on Blackboard (under BotEnvironment JavaDocs, BotEnvironment Tutorial, and BotEnvironment FAQ) to the Lab 2 description.
